FY05 Federal S&E Obligations

The NSF has published data for Federal Science & Engineering Awards to universities, colleges, and nonprofit institutions for FY05. For those bean counters who study these tables closely, one item to consider in these post 9/11 years is that the Dept of Homeland Security is lumped in with the 10 “other” agencies, with some special considerations in specific tables (see the Table Notes for details). Johns Hopkins maintains its commanding lead in S&E obligations ($1.23B), about half of which goes to its heavily DoD-endowed Applied Physics Laboratory (APL).
